F.A.C.C.T. reported a fraud scheme targeting special ops participants.

Russians have been warned about a new fraudulent scheme aimed at members of a special military operation (SMO) and their families. This was announced by F.A.C.C.T. on November 20.

"Attackers under the guise of nurses from border regions and volunteers through dating sites and social networks come into contact with fighters and their loved ones <...>," the publication says.

After that, the fraudsters inform about the allegedly received payment of 100 thousand rubles and send a link to a fake Google Play page. When users go to download a trojan on their devices, after installation, the application asks for permission to access contacts and SMS. It is noted that if you have an iOS device, you will not be able to download the virus.

Then the user is redirected to a browser page where he is asked to fill in his full name, bank card number, phone number and SNILS.

According to the company, the damage from the actions of criminals is almost 13 million rubles. The average amount of theft is 56 thousand rubles.

How the "safe account" scheme has changed and why this option for stealing funds is becoming dominant

On the same day, mobile operators revealed a new scheme of account hacking on "Gosusluga". Attackers send flowers or some other gift to the victim. After some time, they ask the recipient for a delivery confirmation code. This code leads to the theft of money and the issuance of loans in the victim's name.
